No, this is with one LSD.
GI83INSs “nat you're saying is that you have a conception of three LSDs for the
whole operation.
Right ..
That's if you'fre using 3ikini.
If you have just one for Bikini and one fer Taongi, one more than we've
had in the past, that means probably a four day round-trip, at least,
and probably another thres or four day stand-by.
ICKE:
.
You might run into the same problem we had at 3ikini, having to lay off
the LSD for fow days to reline itts boilers.
RCs
Weil, you almost have to have one hailing and one standing by if you "re
going to make this five day firing schedule you're talking about,
VAs

expenditure for a nies cam ashore,
FELT:
Se, I don't think that's right.
VANs
Well, 4% makes that much more noney available, rather than pour it into

RACs

FELT:
Well, it's possible you could have a easp and stay in there,
RHC:
Yes, in the save fashion you stayed on Enyu this time,
have a capability of doing something else, too.
But you have to
You can't pick up your
boat pool on the night of mims one and get back to Eniwetok to pick up
another bomb,
Now you might sneak in a trip back to get another bomb
while you're mooring the barge you have. .
FELT:
But. then when you have a bomb on board, you can't pick up the boats.
Rics
I think maybe you could.
